She sure does! Safety first.

SO What happens at the end of the night when guests are still using the glassware? 

So our staff don’t have to go chasing your guests to get our glassware back we start to serve drinks out of sustainable biopak cups 15-20 minutes before service time finishes and swap current drinks into these. We will then pack up all the left over alcohol and take it to your designated area. If your party is continuing on make sure you have some cups for your guests along with a few bottle openers for the beers.

Our ceremony is right near where Gertrude will be parked, will you need to arrive earlier to set up?

Yes, during her set up process there is quite a bit of running around and we do tend to be a little noisy. If the ceremony is taking place in the same area as the reception we highly recommend you get us in earlier so there is no fuss during your super special moment.
